Former missionary to South Korea
thinks turmoil surely will come
A former missionary to South
Korea believes there will be
turmoil in that country when the
present dictator like
government reaches the end of
its rope.
That was one of the things Dr.
George Ewing Ogle told the
Griffin Lions Club Thursday
night about his 20 years of
service in the mission field
there.
Dr. Ogle is a visiting
professor of Christian Mission
at the Candler School of
Theology at Emory University.
He has been there since he
was forced out of South Korea in
1974.
Dr. Ogle said he first was
arrested in South Korea after he
had asked a small prayer
meeting group to pray for eight
men who had been arrested.
They were accused of being
communists.
Dr. Ogle said someone in the
prayer group apparently was in
the South Korean CIA and
reported him.
He was taken into custody a
few times later and eventually
had to leave.
Dr. Ogle said the CIA is so
called in South Korea because it
is patterened after the U.S.
intelligence. But in reality, the
Emory professor said, the CIA
in South Korea is more like a
gestapo.
Even in the smallest
gatherings, someone in the CIA

always is there and reports
everything said and done to the
authorities, Dr. Ogle said.
He said the CIA network of
South Korea reaches even into
the United States — as close as
the consulate in Atlanta.
He said South Korean CIA
agents in America have two
purposes: to harass and
intimidate Koreans living in
this country and to try to
influence members of congress
through bribes and other
means.
He noted the Rep. Jack Flynt
of Griffin as chairman of the
House Ethics Committee was
looking into the alleged bribing
of some congressmen for favors
toward South Korea.
Dr. Ogle said when President
Ford visited South Korea, that
was tatamount to an
endorsement of the government
there.
He said many citizens in
South Korea who support
America didn’t want Ford to
visit because they knew this
would happen.
South Korea today is tom
between the debate that it
cannot develop democracy and
an open society without a
dictatorial government.
Many in South Korea believe
that the nation can develop
economically and in a
democratic way at the same
time, he said. Their views do not
prevail now, Dr. Ogle said.
He said the hope of South
Korea was that an open and free
democratic society would be an
alternate to the communist
regime of North Korea.
However, he said that the
military influence of South
Korea at present has pretty
much negated that hope.
Dr. Ogle said that Gulf Oil
Corp., and other large business
interests in South Korea pump
large amounts of money into
that country which in turn finds
its way back to the United
States in the form of influence
peddling in the halls of
congress.
Dr. Ogle lamented the loss of
free high schools and
universities in South Korea to
the domination of the military.
He cautioned America to be
on guard to always keep the
military in this country under
civilian control.
A free press plays a vital role
in a democratic society, Dr.
Ogle said. He said it was
important to have an open and
free flow of information. He
cautioned against monopolistic
tenedencies he observed in the
press of this country.
Dr. Ogle believes America
could withdraw some of or
nearly all of its forces from
South Korea without having a
collapse there.
He said South Korea is
heavily armed with its own
armies.
U.S. troops there are more
symbolic than anything else, he
believes.
Lovejoy Harwell was
program chairman for the
night.
The Lions meeting was held
at the Moose Club.

Sambo’s restaurant
to open in Griffin
Sambo’s Restaurant, a
nationwide chain of fast service
dining, will locate in Griffin on
the old Randall and Blakely site
at West Taylor and South 16th
streets.
A well remembered local
eatery, Dick’s Snack Shack,
owned by Dick Piland, operated
for many years on the site.
The restaurant will be
equipped to serve as many as 120
customers at a time, including
banquet facilities. It will
feature sit-down, moderately
priced family dining with more
than 100 menu items and fast
service, 24-hours a day.
About 40 people will be
employed there.
The Santa Barbara, Calif.,
based chain operates more than
735 outlets in 40 states and was
founded in 1957 by Sam
Battistone and F. Newell
Bohnett, who combined their
nicknames — “Sam” and “Bo”
— and their talents to turn a
dilapidated beachfront
restaurant into a moneymaker
that set the pattern for Sambo’s
Strange dogs
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)
— Binky the polar bear has
joined the rest of the strange
looking dogs in Cal Worth
ington’s imaginary kennel.
Worthington, a car dealer
with operations in Anchorage
and California, went to the
Alaska Children’s Zoo Wednes
day, climbed into the cage with
Binky and filmed a few antics.
He lost his cowboy hat to the
bear in the process.
The auto man is planning to
use Binky in a series of tele
vision advertisements featuring
Worthington and “my dog
Spot.” The role of Spot pre
viously has been filled by a bull,
a killer whale, a tiger, a lion and
a snake.

One of the primary factors in
its record of expansion is a
shared ownership plan that is
unique in the restaurant
industry. Under this “Fraction

to 20 percent of the restaurant
and have the opportunity to
invest in other units in the
chain.
No date was given on the
